When cool got married

Sunday, September 28, 2008

Yesterday was quite possibly the coolest wedding in the world ever. Why? 1. The bride, my mate Lu, was wearing a fabulous creation from an amazing and also very lovely Nottingham Designer who makes clothes for Dita Von Teese and the Scissor Sisters. So she looked like a princess but with a funky/sassy edge that [...]

Right now, if all is going to plan we should be surrounded by lovely mates and having a fabulous time. Misses E and M will probably be no longer sweetly smelling and neatly attired, but red faced and laughing doing knee slides across the dance floor. Mr B will probably have gravy [...]

Tomorrow La famille Beaufoix will be attending a very special occasion, the wedding of one of my bezzie mates in the world ever. I first met Lu when I was 17. Every Thursday a group of us from Sixth Form headed to Rock City for Student night and Lu would join us there [...]

As Saturday morning arrived bright and early thanks to the large resident cock (no pun intended)…(well ok, I meant it a little bit)… I awoke to the rustic beamed ceiling, the view from yesterday’s post, and silence. No cars, no buses, no general buzz of a town waking up. No alarm clocks, no small children jumping on [...]

What can I tell you? For someone who was a little nervous about spending a weekend with a bunch of people of whom she only really knew about two of very well, I think it went ok. Seriously, I have just spent 3 days and two nights with a bunch of the loveliest girls. Though we [...]

The creative and fabulous Gattina is our Fun Monday host today and her request is that we show her our blogging space. I’d love to say that I spend my writing and reading time here… Or that my view as I blog away to my little heart’s content is this, ..or maybe this. But let’s face it, that would [...]

When boredom attacks

Sometimes you get a bit bored. Sometimes when you’re at your friends house, and they’re busy doing some work while you’re doing some writing, and the kids are playing upstairs and it’s raining outside and it’s quiet, quiet, quiet and you should be enjoying the freedom and the silence… you get a bit bored. So you’re sitting [...]

My mate Rosie gets slightly miffed if I mention Mansfield’s ‘bookshop’. Rosie: “Mansfield doesn’t have a book shop Jo, it has Whsmiths, which is not a bookshop.” Me: “It has blumming books doesn’t it? So it’s a bookshop.” Rosie just shakes her head in mock disgust and grins. You see, though she was born [...]

Migraine. It hurts. It could be something to do with the weather, it could be something to do with the late night at my mates last night. (I wasn’t drinking, I drove so it was definitely not alcohol induced.) Or it could just be that today it was my turn for a throbbing head, tired eyes [...]
